Answer:

11 mm

Explanation:

Original length L' = 26 m

Increase in temperature dT = 36.0°C

The gap l =?

The coefficient of linear expansion for steel & = 12 × 10^−6 per °C

The gap will be gotten from the equation of linear expansion.

l = L' x & x dT

substituting, we have

L = 26 x 12 × 10^−6 x 36

L = 0.011 m = 11 mm

A roller coaster car is going over the top of a 18-mm-radius circular rise. At the top of the hill, the passengers "feel light,"
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

0.29713 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v = Velocity

r = Radius = 18 mm

By balancing the forces in the system we have

mg-N=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow mg-\dfrac{mg}{2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{r(g-\dfrac{g}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.018\times (9.81-\dfrac{9.81}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=0.29713\ m/s

The velocity of the coaster is 0.29713 m/s

a baseball player is dashing toward home plate with a speed of 200 feet per hour. When he decides to hit the dirt. he slides for
Serggg [28]

To solve this problem we will use the kinematic formula for the final velocity.


V_f_x = V_0_x + a_xt


The final speed is 0 at the moment the player stops.


The time until it stops is 1.3 s


The initial speed is 200 feet / s  Note (check the speed units in the problem statement, 200ft / s is very much and 200ft / h is very small)

Then, we clear the formula.


a_x = \frac{(Vfx-V0x)}{t}\\ a_x = \frac{(0-200)}{1.3}\\ a_x = -153.5 ft / s ^ 2

Because the player is slowing down, the acceleration goes in the opposite direction to the player's movement, and that is why it is negative.



To answer part b) we use the following formula.


Vf ^ 2 = Vo ^ 2 + 2a * (x_2 - x_1)\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= \frac{(V_f ^ 2-V_0 ^ 2)}{2a}\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= \frac{(0-200 ^ 2)}{- 2 * 153.5}\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= 130.29 feet

If the price of gasoline at a particular station in Europe is 5 euros per liter. An American student in Europe is allowed to use
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Number of gallons =2 gallon

Explanation:

given data:

rate of gasoline ineurope = 5 euro per liter

total money to buy gasoline =  40 euro

total gasoline an american can buy in europe = \frac{40}{5}

= 8 litres of gasoline

As given in the question 1 ltr is 1 quarts therefore  

Total no. of quarts is 8 quarts

As from question 4 quarts is equal to one gallon, hence

Number of gallons= \frac{8}{4} = 2 gallon

Every year _______ species go extinct.<br> a. 3<br> b. 72<br> c. 1000<br> d. 20000
Tems11 [23]
Well, the thing is: we don't really know, as we don't even know how many species there are on earth.

If we take a look at the estimates of <span>World Wide Fund for Nature, an organization that works toward combating species extinction, their estimates vary from 200 to 100 000 - but a probable number is 20 000 (d). </span>
